We have just shipped an updated Steam Dick Client to the Stable channel.

General

• The 'Legacy Steam Runtime' compatibility tool is now an optional standalone download instead of being bundled with the Steam client.

• Fixed an issue where the Steam Workshop would download an older version of an item if there were multiple versions of the item that were marked valid for game beta branch the user opted into.

• Fixed a rare case where the Steam Controller welcome dialog could appear while updating the controller's firmware.

• Fixed a crash related to the Steam Controller.

• Fixed streamable non-Steam games showing in Library when Remote Play is turned off.

• Fixed the "View friends list" link in the Big Picture home page opening the older non-QAM version of the friends list.

• Fixed some startup movies failing to play.

• Fixed option to clear custom backgrounds and logos not showing in library.

Library

• Improved EULA scrolling behavior when using a controller.

Settings

• Updated the layout and styles for client settings across desktop, Big Picture and controller configuration to improve readability and organization.

• Notification settings has been updated to allow changing e-mail, client, and mobile notification preferences in one place.

• Directly navigating to a specific settings page (i.e by activating the network icon in the header) will now focus the first setting in that section instead of the settings navigation menu.

Friends & Chat

• Friend status will now update much more quickly after waking your device from sleep or toggling network connectivity.

Steam Input

• Steam Controller: Minor improvement to gyro micro stutter (ignore clone packets).

• You can turn off "Track Pad locking" - by default each trackpad is disabled while the corresponding joystick is either deflected or the joystick's capacitive sensor has been activated. This is to avoid accidental track pad touches when using a joystick. Find the setting in: Settings->Controller->Details->Calibration & Advanced->Trackpad Lockout.

• Gyro to Joystick Camera: Defaulted Gyro Deadzone Speed and Gyro Precision Speed to 0 to aide tuning the correct Minimum Joystick Output - these settings would swallow the micro movements needed to check the minimum response to gyro movements. Also: added Minimum Joystick Output slider on the Configurator Quick Settings list.

• Added an extra option to Gyro to Joystick Camera - Angle Catchup can be active while gyro ratcheting.

• Fixed Gyro to Joystick Camera timing issue - should appear smoother across all controllers.

• Removed several configuration options from incompatible inputs. Digital Buttons can no longer be set Press types that require Analog input and Gyro can no longer be set to incompatible Radial Menu or Hotbar. These options will still be available for all compatible inputs.

• Fixed detecting the Steam Controller when it is charging on the puck at Steam startup.

• Fixed an issue with doubled input when the Steam Controller is charging on the puck.

• Fixed FlyDigi Vader 5 Pro in enhanced mode on Linux and macOS.

• Fixed "Reset Camera To Horizon" action operating inconsistently in different engines - turn commands chunked into 2 to improve consistency.

• Fixed quick settings Left Trackpad to point to correct settings, instead of toward Gyro.

• Fixed not being able to use Grip Sense to activate Touch Menus.

• Fixed Grip Sense sensor page Grip Range slider, and adjusted explanations.

• Added Grip Sense rumble effect to Grip Sense calibration screen.

• Fixed an issue where Steam Controller grip thresholds were loaded incorrectly in the device calibration screen.

• Fixed an issue preventing the Steam button chord configuration from being edited for the Steam Controller.

Steam Controller Firmware

• Fixes for trackpad 'dead zone' issues experienced by some Steam Controllers.

• Fixed an issue with occasional stutter on the gyro polling rate.
